<p>EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid - get default signature digest</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/evp.h&gt;
 int EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid(EVP_PKEY *pkey, int *pnid);</code></pre>

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function sets <b>pnid</b> to the default message digest NID for the public key signature operations associated with key <b>pkey</b>. Note that some signature algorithms (i.e. Ed25519 and Ed448) do not use a digest during signing. In this case <b>pnid</b> will be set to NID_undef.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>For all current standard OpenSSL public key algorithms SHA1 is returned.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>The EVP_PKEY_get_default_digest_nid() function returns 1 if the message digest is advisory (that is other digests can be used) and 2 if it is mandatory (other digests can not be used). It returns 0 or a negative value for failure. In particular a return value of -2 indicates the operation is not supported by the public key algorithm.</p>
